Sunday, August 1
Today I have managed to eat, amongst other things, a bowl of Rice Crispies, a bowl of Coco Pops and a few squares of Maya Gold. I view this as an achievement - the most solid food I've had since I attempted that hot cross bun on Thursday. It doesn't hurt when I smile any more, even though these past two mornings I've woken up covered in blood, presumably from hitting the piercing during the night. There's a solid lump in my cheek which I think is too big to just be the bar, but Simon had a look and doesn't think it's infected. He says if it is, they normally issue gunk when squeezed, and mine didn't. It's growing on me more now, I wasn't so sure about it at first, but I quite like it now.
Yesterday I received a letter, a proper letter on paper and everything! It made me happy, I haven't had a proper letter in a long time. It was from
Thom, with chocolate and a book. I hope I remember to reply sometime soon.
